12.22pm – Lovely from Masood, who has driven Akhter through the covers for four, moving to 35. 52-3 in the 20th.
12pm – We have a scorecard available via the Match Centre tab above. No stream is available via that, but you can view that via the link we posted a bit further down this page. Masood and Brook have hit three boundaries between them since the Root wicket. Masood has 23 of 37-3 in the 15th.

10.33am – Gloucestershire have won the toss and will bowl first.
One change from the Leicestershire game. Thompson out, Root in.
10.16am – Yorkshire chief executive Stephen Vaughan is here. He used to be chief exec at Gloucester Rugby, not too far from this parish.
9.58am – Warm-ups are in full swing here. It’s the first real sign of cricket weather that we’ve had this season.
9.25am – Good morning from Bristol, where the sun is shining and we’re all set for an 11am start in our second round Vitality County Championship clash.
Harry Brook continues to be available and will be joined by Joe Root in Yorkshire’s team this weekend.
Both sides drew their opening fixture last week; Yorkshire at home to Leicestershire and Gloucestershire away at Derbyshire. Glos didn’t actually get on the field – all four days abandoned due to a wet outfield at the county ground.
That’s exactly the fate we suffered here last April, this fixture drawn without a ball bowled. Thankfully, things are much more promising this time.

Our squad for this match is also below.
We will post the live stream details a bit closer to the start time of 11am. Enjoy the day.
